Question
I recently purchased a white resin head of Christopher Reeve for a custom Superman figure.  The bottom of the neck is flat, with some air bubbles around the edges.  How would I go about attaching this to a sixth scale body, since there is no plug or hole in the head?  Is there a type of glue that would work best?  Is there anyhing I can use to cover the seam between the neck and shoulders (and to cover the unsightly air bubbles?) I am very new to the whole process and am looking for some guidance here.  Thank you!

Answer
I guess you could drill out the neck and attach a rod or pin. I guess you could fill the air bubbles with ribbon epoxy or something. I really don't do work like this mayself anymore, and I always ran pressure and vacuum chambers on molds and parts, so you rarely if ever have bubbles.

I think most 1/6 scale bodies have different neck joints, but I haven't worked on anything in  1/6 scale in maybe 5 years, so I don't even know what they use currently.

Check the internet or your phone book for a model or hobby shop, and if they sell polyurethanes (Resin), they could tell you to use better than me.
